2023-24 Annual Report

Page 1


Dear Sisters,

This past year’s theme, “Clothed In Grace,” is really an expression of being embraced in God’s love and fidelity. Each of us, individually and as a congregation, need to take time to reflect on how God has touched our lives, strengthening us to persevere through times of challenges, changes, disappointments, losses, and transitions.

Throughout the year, our gatherings provided opportunities for dialogue and reflection on various aspects of our spiritual journey. These included discussions on our “planning in faith” progress, governance guiding team meetings, and community conversations. We were blessed with reflection days led by Sisters Pat Kozic, CSJ, Cheryl Clemmons, OSU, Joye Gros, OP, and Teresa Tuite, OP. Whether we gathered for funerals or celebrations, each moment offered a chance to experience God clothing us in grace.

July 1, 2023–June 30, 2024

We thank our coworkers and ministry partners. Their relationships with us are so important as we go forward in mission, witnessing to the Gospel in the spirit of St. Angela. They too, have touched us with grace.

With all the challenges in our city, society and the world, calling on God to clothe all of us in grace is certainly an ongoing prayer. Strengthened by God’s love and fortified by God’s grace, we continue to go forth, aware of the many ways we are clothed in God’s grace and help others to discover the same.

Leadership Report

Leadership has focused its attention on the canonical and civil issues we need to address as we discern a new governance structure. We continue to tend to our Sisters in their spiritual and physical needs by providing support for them, reflection days, and what is most needed to assist them in living their vocation. We continue to work with our sponsored ministries for solid formation of our Catholic Identity and Ursuline Charism. We are beginning the 2026 Chapter preparation with our facilitators Donna Fyffe and Mark Clarke. And we continue our involvement with LCWR, WRAC, RCRI and NAULC for support, education and idea exchange.

Governance

From July 2023 to June 2024, the Governance Guiding Team (GGT) focused on planning congregation engagement through two key meetings: March 13 and May 17, 2024.

At the spring congregational gathering on March 13, 2024, the GGT led Sisters in reviewing previously presented governance options. Participants, both in-person and via Zoom, were encouraged to give a leaning for the governance structure best suited to the congregation’s future.

During the May 17, 2024, meeting, the GGT provided a comprehensive explanation of factors to consider when choosing an appointed leader. At the conclusion, Sisters expressed their preference for either an “internal” or “external” leader.

Following the May meeting, the GGT convened to review the conclusions of that meeting and assess the need for further congregational discussions on governance.

Members who serve on the Governance Guiding Team are: Rita Dressman, Ruth Ann Haunz, Mary Theresa Burns, Lynn Jarrell and Janet Marie Peterworth. Our Leadership liaisons are Agnes Coveney and Jean Anne Zappa.

A look back at 2023–24

We asked our Sisters:
How have you been “clothed in grace” this year? You can read some of their responses on pages 3–6.

Sr. Anne Mary Lochner presented me with my obedience and scarf in August as I had missed the Missioning service in July. By September, we were saying goodbye to her and others dear to us. It’s been hard but being clothed in grace has helped me move forward.

—Barbara Bir

This is a deep theological question. If one sees grace as gift, then I have been gifted with or graced with education, health, home, food, transportation, technology, and friends and family that are there for me. All of these—with the exception of my birth family—are because of the Ursuline community that has been a part of me for almost 70 years. That is grace, and I will be forever grateful to God and my companions on this journey.

—Janet Marie Peterworth

With our congregational numbers getting smaller, I have been graced this year with knowing that several ministries with which I have been associated are flourishing; our Associates are growing and becoming more independent, and Nativity Academy and Holy Cross High School are healthy.

—Jo Ann Jansing

I have been clothed in grace by observing and helping in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Atrium, witnessing children’s responses to Jesus’ stories, often expressing their feelings through art.

—Mary Jo Gramig

Community Days, July 24–28, 2023: Most of our Sisters were able to gather in-person to meet, celebrate our jubilarians and be sent out on mission to be “Clothed in Grace.” We also held a missioning ceremony with coworkers and Associates, and one for our Sisters at Nazareth Home-Clifton.

August 2023: The restoration of the Ursuline Motherhouse Chapel, started in November 2022, was completed in August 2023, with a blessing ceremony held on September 1 by the Ursuline Sisters and Sacred Heart Schools.

July 1, 2023–June 30, 2024

July 2023: New signs were installed at the entrances to the Ursuline Campus to welcome visitors. They note the date, 1877, that the campus was established by the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville.

Ursuline Sisters of Louisville 3

I have been clothed in grace in so many, many ways that it is hard to name one way or event. God has fully graced and accompanied me time and again to be present and available to the moment and person before me.

—Lynn Jarrell

By letting God teach me to gracefully embrace the many physical limitations that come with aging.

—Clara Fehringer

I have been clothed in grace with the commitment and fidelity of the many people with whom I work and with whom I come in contact.

—Sue Scharfenberger

October 4, 2023: A Laudato Si’ prayer service was held on the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. All who gathered gave thanks for all of God’s creation and renewed our commitment to our Laudato Si’ Action Plan.

The time to pray and reflect more, living with our community, the opportunity to serve others by God’s grace.

—Theresa Kruml

I experienced being clothed in grace through the loss of a dear brother-in-law, Carmelite Sister Martha Showalter, and Ursulines like Anne Mary Lochner. Facing sorrow and faith struggles, I realized God is always near, holding us close and giving us all that we need.

—Mary Theresa Burns

Consider a different phrase. “Clothed in grace” is challenging when dressing between a walker and an armchair, often falling in the process.

—Antonine Biven

October 24, 2023: Sisters and Associates enjoyed a “Fun Day” aboard Captain’s Quarters Princess yacht. The two-hour tour of the Ohio River included lunch and views of the Big Four Bridge and downtown Louisville.

I’ve been clothed in grace through Bellarmine’s commitment to St. Angela’s spirit, and receiving care from friends after an injury. During the loss of my greatnephew, and coping with Sisters’ deaths, especially Sr. Anne Mary Lochner— the only way through it was knowing I was clothed in God’s grace. And then there is nature with its glorious colors clothed in grace, as well.

—Rita Ann Wigginton

All my needs have been covered—both physical and spiritual.

—Julienne Guy

God has blessed all aspects of my life, and I’m grateful.

—Donata Kokot

November 19, 2023: A Chapel Donors Mass was held in the Motherhouse Chapel, with Archbishop Shelton Fabre presiding. Donors were able to view the newly installed Chapel Donor book display and enjoy a reception after Mass.

Every day I pray that God will wrap me in his love—grace. I share my kindness and respect and joy to all here at Twinbrook and everywhere I go.

—Loretta Krajewski

I have been clothed in grace all the times I have been open to God’s love gracing me in prayer, in my encounters with others, and in the beauties of nature.

—Rita Dressman

As I pray each morning, I consider the beauty of the trees, the birds, and nature. It easily lets me see God’s grace in our world, which lets me easily see how I am clothed in God’s grace.

—Paula Kleine-Kracht

I have been clothed in grace with good health, and by being supported in love and prayer by my family, my Ursuline congregation and my global community.

—Kathleen Neely

As I age, my memory is losing strength. When I can’t say the right word, it will be offered by one of the Sisters. Their willingness to help me reminds me that we are family, and I am grateful.

—Marilyn Mueller

April 8, 2024:

We held a solar eclipse party at the Motherhouse with Moon Pies, Sun Chips and an eclipsethemed music playlist!

God has been so good and has guided my path. I hope when people see me, they don’t see me, but the face of the Lord.

I feel clothed in grace daily. This year brought unexpected changes: moving to Twinbrook and cancer surgery. Both were grace-filled.

—Mary Martha Staarman

March 2024: Sacred Heart Academy art students honored the Ursuline Sisters with comic strip art that they created about several individual Sisters’ lives.

—Anonymous Every day I wake up, I am clothed in grace to share God’s love with those I encounter, to show God’s love in a tangible way.

—Jean Anne Zappa

March 20, 2024: Several Sisters, coworkers and Associates toured St. Joseph Children’s Home. The highlight was seeing the chapel that was dedicated to Sr. Loretta Guenther, the last Ursuline Sister to serve at St. Joe’s, and the hallway dedicated to the Ursuline Sisters. Sr. Loretta visited the dedicated chapel and hallway in June 2023.

Ursuline Sisters of Louisville

I hoped and sensed that God’s presence— being clothed in grace—was close to me as challenging concerns came along this past year.

—Rosella McCormick

As a 70-year jubilarian, I’ve been graced by relationships acknowledging my life commitment as an Ursuline Sister. With a grateful heart, I feel clothed in grace.

—Julia Davis

I have clothed myself in grace with much courage, bravery and strength. There were also many people who clothed me with their love, kindness, listening and companionship, at the same time I clothed with grace other people who needed love, kindness and understanding.

— Yuli Oncihuay

I have been clothed in grace by being alive and able to pray, love, and share.

—Lelia Marie Kirchner

During my three-month stay at Twinbrook while recovering from an accident, I was clothed in grace through the support of our Sisters and staff.

I have been covered in grace through my strong recovery from spinal surgery and the gift of support from others.

—Rita Joseph Jarrell

Awareness of being clothed in grace draws me to gratitude, to prayer, and to others.

— Helen O’Brien

I have been covered in grace with God’s love and strength in all I do, surrounded by amazing volunteers who inspire me.

—Ruth Ann Haunz

June 3, 5, 7, 2024: Community Days were held a month earlier than usual, with a change to three alternating days of meetings versus a full week. During the missioning held in the chapel, Sisters, Associates and coworkers were sent out “On The Journey with Love.”

I have been covered in grace with community, family, and friends. I keep learning life and faith lessons from the Holy Spirit.

—Agnes Coveney

June 2024: A Chapel Court Display was installed with the names of every woman who has served as an Ursuline Sister of Louisville, and includes the charism and history of the chapel. This is one of the special projects that Archives Director Laurel Wilson and Communications Director Kathy Williams have worked on that honor the Ursulines history and mission.

Clothed in Grace: Highlights

Sacred Heart Schools

God’s grace strengthens the Sacred Heart Schools community and helps us achieve our mission of developing globally–minded, compassionate leaders. In conjunction with the Office of Catholic Identity and Ursuline Charism, our four schools committed more deeply to the Ursuline Core Values of reverence, service, leadership and community this year. These values are woven together to empower the Sacred Heart community to live Christ-centered lives rooted in the Catholic faith and Ursuline tradition.

Whether it be the many acts of service performed by our students, Mass and prayer services, spiritual retreats, community-building events and outreach, or daily prayer and education, our students, faculty and staff are clothed in God’s grace, eager to assist others, actively seeking to leave our community better than they found it and grateful for the opportunity to experience an Ursuline education.

Saint Angela calls us all to be courageous and compassionate. At Sacred Heart Schools, the enduring spirit of St. Angela and our Ursuline Sisters pervades every aspect of our community. We provide exceptional academic experiences, nurture the whole child through arts and athletics, are committed to fostering leadership skills in all our students, and, most importantly, celebrate and share our Catholic faith.

—Dr. Karen McNay, Sacred Heart Schools president

Colegio Parroquial Santa Angela Merici, Peru

Grace is that gift that connects us to one another, to the holy in our lives, and invites us to a deeper awareness of our responsibility in community. At Santa Angela Merici School, we developed awareness among our students about climate change, and focused on kindness and community building, inspired by Pope Francis’s encyclical Fratelli Tutti (Fratelli Tutti was also the theme of the teachers’ retreat this year). The seniors named themselves “Fratelli Tutti” and they, too, focused on building community. Fratelli Tutti reminds us of the “other” who is part of us. Students engaged in service hours and participated in a mission trip to San Miguel, which are ways of connecting and recognizing that we are all a part of one.

Our curriculum emphasized non-violent care for the earth and one another. The theme was also influenced by the growing violence in Peru and wars around the globe. During the school’s 58th anniversary celebration, students and staff took to the streets with messages of care and concern, connecting with neighbors through gestures, songs and hugs.

Building on Fratelli Tutti, we have placed more focus on our indigenous brothers and sisters who grace us with their way of life, their connection to the earth, and their belief in a more cosmological union and way of relating. Despite challenges, including the loss of a beloved pastor, the school community remains committed to non-violence, faith, the environment, and social justice.

—Sr. Sue Scharfenberger, Santa Angela Merici mission effectiveness director

Clothed in Grace: Highlights

Associates

Louisville-area Associates were clothed in grace this year in discerning our future. We engaged internal and external thought leaders in this discovery and maintained close connections with the Ursuline Sisters. As a result, we adopted a new organizational model with three volunteer Associates joining a guiding team of collaborative, servant leaders. Ursuline spirituality sits at the center, surrounded by three interdependent areas of focus to direct our energy:

Charism

We reignited our call as Charism Carriers through “Come and See” spiritual gatherings that emphasized personal reflection and discernment. We also designed our annual retreat and began developing a new 10-month-long formation/ transformation program for current and prospective members to begin in the fall.

Community

We hosted an all-Associate gathering to celebrate our past, connect in the present, and imagine our future. We especially focused on nurturing relationships and accompanying one another in

Louisville, while also being present to neighboring Associate communities in Carmen de la Legua and San Miguel, Peru, and Cumberland, Maryland.

Capability

We successfully completed the work of the Transitional Board and Planning Committee, and partnered with the Ursuline Sisters to begin our new organization. We also increased engagement with Associates through weekly communications, transparent information sharing, and making operational improvements.

Lisa Steiner, Ursuline Associates

Peruvian Associates

The 47 Associates located in San Miguel and Carmen de la Legua, Peru, have been gifted by the inspiration of Angela Merici. Our Associate communities in both places are vibrant and growing with the grace of the Spirit. “Clothed in Grace” was our retreat theme in January, and we shared refections, song, art and dance with one another. In September, we were clothed in grace by a visit from Sisters Kathy Neely, Carol Reamer (Toledo Ursulines) and Louisville Associate Rory Polio. —Sr. Sue Scharfenberger, Ursuline Associates

Archives

This year, I was clothed in grace by my involvement with the Women Religious Archive Collaborative (WRAC) in Cleveland, the future home of our archival collection. I wrote articles promoting WRAC and served on the WRAC Archivist Committee, which helps congregations prepare their materials for eventual transfer, and advised the WRAC board on what features the WRAC center will need to store the collections.

I also collaborated with Communications Director Kathy Williams to create a display in the Chapel Court honoring all the women who have served as Ursuline Sisters of Louisville. We are also working together on another display to honor the Sisters in the Desenzano Conference Room.

A few other highlights from the year include:

• Continuing as Board Secretary for the Archivists for the Congregation of Women Religious (ACWR).

• Answering reference requests from researchers, genealogists, and staff members.

• Regularly contributing to the DOME.

—Laurel Wilson, archivist

Communications

Communications has been clothed in grace by sharing the stories of the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville and Associates through various print, visual, and social media platforms. In the past year’s DOME magazine issues, we completed our series on the Ursulines’ teaching history and initiated a new series highlighting current ministries. We’ve also created archival videos of our Sisters, designed a commemorative display of Ursuline Sisters’ names in the Chapel Court, and continue to expand our social media presence.

Communications Highlights:

• Successful media coverage through press releases for:

—SHA comic strip art project featuring Ursuline Sisters.

—Donation of St. Angela Merici relic to SHA and SHMS.

—Coverage of our Jubilarians.

• Chaired the Chapel Donor Mass Celebration Committee.

• Religion Communicators Council Board Member and committee member for their April convention in Louisville.

• Completed Chapel Court display design and installation.

• Virtual Chapel tour (in progress).

• Desenzano display design (in development). Awards and Recognition:

• 2023 Outstanding Achievement in Print Media Award from the Communicators of Women Religious (CWR) for the Sacred Heart Schools Heritage Room timeline.

• Religion Communicators Council: One Category Winner and three Awards of Merit; Associated Church Press: One Award of Excellence and one Award of Merit.

—Kathy Williams, director

July 1, 2023–June 30, 2024

Finance

Romans 12:6 tells us, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.” In the Finance Office, we are using our gifts according to the grace given us to assist the USAE community in “planning in faith.” Much of what we do supports not just the day-to-day operations, but also the longterm vision of the Society as outlined in the “Planning in Faith” document.

Specific accomplishments this year include:

• Assisting the community in its impact investment through the Community Foundation of Louisville.

• Completing a technology and cybersecurity audit.

• Expanding the investment committees of the Trust and the Society with trusted advisors.

• Selling and transferring the Norbourne property to former missionaries.

• Working to streamline leases and miscellaneous investments.

• Identifying steps for the restructure of our Peru ministry.

Thanks to Shannon Maguire, Gina South, and Austin Raderer for their teamwork, which keeps the Finance Office operating smoothly to meet the daily and long-term needs of the Society.

—Becky Phillips, director

Personnel Changes

In December 2023, we said goodbye to Bernie Mudd White, communications assistant, and welcomed Connie Offutt in January 2024 as a contract communications freelancer.

Liturgy

The Liturgy department has been truly clothed in grace this year. Through the dedication and hard work of our wonderful volunteers, we provided numerous liturgical opportunities at both the Motherhouse and Twinbrook chapels. Our monthly Taizé services continue to be offered in-person and virtually, with invaluable support from the Communications department.

In July, we celebrated as a community with the 2023 Jubilee Mass and Missioning service. This was followed by a remembrance service honoring the lives of those who have passed away, and a Chapel Preservation Donor Mass, both in November. We joyfully celebrated Saint Angela’s feast day in January, and in February we honored our volunteer cantor of fifteen years with flowers, cards and gifts. Sister Carol led an Earth Day prayer service in April as part of our celebration of all creation.

At Twinbrook Assisted Living, liturgies are provided approximately six days a week. We regularly offer the sacraments of anointing of the sick and reconciliation, in addition to Holy Week and holy day liturgies. Due to the scarcity and failing health of our retired priests, we offer prayer services and Communion services when necessary.

Our Ursuline Choir once again raised their voices in joyful song, participating in a concert hosted by St. Peter the Apostle Church in October. In December, the Ursuline Choir and the St. Peter the Apostle Choir sang Christmas carols for residents at Twinbrook, Nazareth Home–Clifton, and Brookdale Senior Living facilities.

What a grace-filled year it has been!

Social Concerns

Peacemakers since 1535, the Ursulines of Louisville were covered with grace this year as Interfaith Paths to Peace awarded us the Peacebuilders Award. Over the past year, we have literally stood together for peace in citywide vigils and walks. Sisters

Kathy Neely and Janet Marie Peterworth joined a Maryknoll workshop on EcoMartyrdom, where they witnessed the struggle for integral ecology in their own missions.

Our efforts to collaborate for violence reduction have borne fruit in our partnership with Sacred Earth Community Garden. This initiative provides ecological education while cultivating food and hope among the Young Urban Gardeners (YUGs) of the West End of Louisville.

We participated in the revived Good Friday Justice Walk, praying for all those who experience violence, suffering, and oppression—the crucified among us. As part of our Laudato Si’ initiative for ecological education, we helped sponsor “This is the Ohio: Life, Death, Rebirth of the Beautiful River,” a newly released documentary by our longtime companion, Morgan Atkinson.

Last summer’s collaborative effort to launch an Archdiocesan Laudato Si’ campaign to broaden our outreach has gained traction.

The Religion Communicators Council’s convention in April provided another opportunity to promote interfaith ecological awareness, and through the Justice Center’s new Interfaith Environmental Action Network, we are exploring ways to work together for environmental justice, embodying the principle that “where sin has abounded, grace may more abound.”

Romans 5:20–21

—Sister Carol Curtis, Social Concerns liasion

Operations

During this fiscal year, Operations has experienced numerous instances where both employees and Sisters have been clothed in grace. We have experienced many changes in the last year. These changes have ranged from relocating to new apartments and mastering the complex technologies in new vehicles and computers, to

making the difficult decision to move on from certain aspects of our work.

Throughout these transitions, we have experienced patience, adaptability, and an eagerness to learn. While change is not easy, we have moved forward with grace.
